>				A graph tree can be thought of as a hierarchical way of organizing your graphs. Each graph tree
				consists of zero or more headers or branch nodes that contain leaf nodes such as graphs or trees.
				Multiple graph trees or branches within a single tree can be combined to form a very powerful way
				of organizing your graphs.
